Cant mount my cdrom after i added a 3rd hard drive

[Jeffrey Pyne]

If your CD-ROM is your secondary slave, when you run "ls -l /dev/cdrom," you
should see that /dev/cdrom is a symlink to /dev/hdd.  In case you didn't
know:
	primary IDE master   = /dev/hda
	primary IDE slave    = /dev/hdb
	secondary IDE master = /dev/hdc
	secondary IDE slave  = /dev/hdd
I'm guessing that /dev/cdrom is still a link to /dev/hdc (i.e. the secondary
master).  If that's the case, try re-creating that link (e.g. cd /dev && rm
cdrom && ln -s hdd cdrom) and then re-issuing your mount command.

Subject: Cant mount my cdrom after i added a 3rd hard drive


For some reason i am unable to mount my cdrom under
suse linux 7.0 after i added a 3rd hard drive. My
cdrom used to be secondary master now it is secondary
slave the bios is updated correctly but i get errors
when i use the command mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom
/mnt/cdrom

error message is:
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
/dev/cdrom or too many mounted file systems.

I am able to mount my floppy without problems however.
